摘要:Vancouver promises to be an exciting venue for the next
annual meeting of the SAA. Here are a few suggestions
for getting ready and making the most of your trip. An
immediate step is to find your passport and check the expiration
date. All U.S. residents traveling to Canada require a valid passport.
If you need a new passport, apply immediately as there is
a considerable wait time. Make your travel plans to Vancouver
early in the year. If you live within driving distance consider carpooling
with your colleagues. Plan to stay long enough to take
in some of the sights of this region. For some of you, this could
be a great opportunity to bring your family and make a vacation
of it. Make your hotel reservations early. The cut-off date for
reservations at the headquarters hotel is March 5. And, of
course, register for the conference, if you haven¡¯t already. While
you are doing that, check out the three great tours that have
been planned. These offer a chance to see something of the local
area and to be introduced to local First Nations cultures. Each
tour prominently features a different First Nation from the Vancouver
area.
